EBP or Research Project Proposal

EBP or Research Project Proposal

Instructions:

In the two individual article critiques that you have completed, you have answered your proposed clinical PICOT question. This assignment will either be formulated as an Evidence-based implementation project or a Research project. The steps are very similar. From looking at the existing literature, you will be able to decide if there is enough high-level evidence that exists to implement the evidence-based intervention OR if not enough high-level evidence exists, and more research needs to be conducted, this will be a research proposal.

The proposal should be 3-5 APA formatted pages and should include:

• Introduction
• Background and in-depth information related to why this is a problem for nursing (this is in light of a literature review)
• Research question or hypothesis OR PICOT question
• Study Design or Implementation Project Design and description of the project
• Population and Sampling Methods
• Data Collection Methods and Instruments
• Data analysis- Includes statistical tests
• Mechanisms to ensure quality of the study- control of bias, etc.
• Timetable for the project
• Ethical considerations
• Resources required including budget, stakeholders who would need to approve the project, etc.
• Implications for Practice and Plan for Dissemination of findings
• References
